Delia was in the middle of something and really didn't want to stop when it was time for her to meet Simon for lunch but she couldn't be rude. She had given her word and she really should be taking a break anyway. That was the main reason she had agreed, after all. She needed to stop skipping meals to keep working. That wasn't good for her.
With great regret, she left her workstation and headed down to the food court. He was already there when she arrived and waved at her cheerfully when he spotted her.
"Hi, Delia! How's your day going?"
"Pretty well. I'm making some real headway on my project," she told him. "What about yours?"
"Oh, it's fine. Same old, same old. What do you want to eat?"
